Welcome Fall and Apartment Therapy

Now, that I have said 'goodbye' to my beloved summer, I can welcome fall!

What a nice surprise to find a feature at Apartment Therapy of the tree house!  As excited as I was, my husband was even more excited!   Thanks Katie at Apartment Therapy!

Summer is just about to come to a close, but we hope you don't mind if we slip in one more outdoor space. This beautiful tree house absolutely made our jaws drop. Plus it looks so cozy with its plaid bunting, army blanket pillow, and comfy reading nook that we think it would be the perfect spot to snuggle up with a mug of hot cocoa and watch the leaves change colors this Fall.

Christie of Three Pixie Lane wrote that her husband and children started working on this tree house last summer as a way to spend time together. The finished project is completely stunning and has so many sweet details that we don't know where to start. See that chalkboard? It's a secret door that leads out onto a hidden deck. And the "Lake" pillow? Christie made that from her grandfather's old army blanket. She even made the cage pendant light! Christie, who doesn't consider herself to be a particularly crafty person (ha!), posted plenty of beautiful pictures of the details over at Three Pixie Lane, so be sure to head over to check it out.

A reader told me about the feature and when I went looking I found another feature of my daughter's bedroom here!  Thanks Apartment Therapy!  What a nice surprise!

    Congrats Christie! I remember my own jaw-dropping when I saw that tree house as well as your daughter's room! :-)
    Have a great rest of your weekend friend,

    P.S. Thought of you when I saw "Bab's" new album at Costco the other day! :-)
